I've got a question about copper bar stock.

I can get the copper bar stock from Jantz, how come they don't sell pins to match?

Can I go to hobby lobby and get pins for this bar stock? Is it the same? Or does copper really matter?

Thanks

There are different alloys of copper but I don't think I would worry about it much. Copper pin stock usually isn't hard to find. If Jantz doesn't have it then look at some of the other suppliers....

Go to a hardware store and look for bare copper wire. You will have to straighten it but that shouldn't be too bad. A hobby shop may have it too.

I need small pins, say 3/32 to 1/8 for bolsters.

Any hobby shop should have that small pin stock and probably most hardware stores too ...

Those are pretty nice. How do you fill the 'empty' space? Do you use an epoxy?
